Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2213 Scott Adams： How I Could Easily Program AI To Spot Fake News. It's Pattern Recognition

00:00:00.000 Toot, toot, toot, toot.

00:00:02.860 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to another highlight of human civilization.

00:00:09.460 It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and aren't you glad you're here?

00:00:12.420 Because we're going to take this experience up to levels that could only be considered galactic.

00:00:20.020 If you'd like to join us, all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass of tankard chalice or stein,

00:00:24.840 a canteen jug or flask, a vessel of any kind.

00:00:28.360 Fill it with your favorite liquid, and join me now for the unparalleled pleasure.

00:00:33.760 It's the dopamine hit of the day with a little bit of oxytocin today.

00:00:37.160 Yeah, a little bit, and it'll set you right.

00:00:40.360 It happens now. Go.

00:00:46.860 That's so good. So good.

00:00:50.660 Well, the news is all interesting today.

00:00:52.740 News out of Palm Springs, California, is that an amnesia patient who woke up 14 months ago

00:01:02.620 and could only speak Swedish, which was not his natural language, was found dead in his home.

00:01:10.060 So for 14 months, for reasons that are a mystery, he could only speak Swedish.

00:01:17.640 How do we explain this?

00:01:19.860 How do we explain this?

00:01:22.220 What would be a possible explanation of why the news would report that a guy suddenly only spoke Swedish?

00:01:31.880 Well, I don't want to, you know, blow your dreams of what the reality is, but I have a hypothesis.

00:01:44.800 It never happened.

00:01:47.600 It never happened.

00:01:48.980 Did they find him dead holding the secret sonic weapon that attacks the embassies?

00:02:01.820 Did they find him dead on one of the UFOs in that big warehouse full of captured UFOs?

00:02:13.020 No.

00:02:13.620 It's like the breatharians in the 70s when I was a kid. 1.00

00:02:18.760 The breatharians went on The Tonight Show and claimed that they found a way to live without eating, 1.00

00:02:25.320 that they would find nutrition just from breathing the air.

00:02:29.120 And when I was a kid, I remember a lot of people believed this.

00:02:32.280 Like, how do they do it?

00:02:34.320 Could we learn to do that?

00:02:36.280 What if other people could learn to eat just by breathing the air?

00:02:40.660 Yeah.

00:02:41.320 Yeah, he woke up and he spoke Swedish.

00:02:44.360 That totally happened.

00:02:46.440 Yeah, no, the most obvious explanation is it didn't happen.

00:02:49.480 Do you know what the most obvious explanation is?

00:02:54.120 Whenever something amazing and hard to believe happens, that it didn't happen.

00:03:01.320 It's almost always the case that if it's that remarkable, yeah, it didn't happen.

00:03:06.300 Or there's some context missing.

00:03:07.540 Well, my mind was blown by a video by Elon Musk yesterday.

00:03:16.840 So you know that AI can be trained by looking at words.

00:03:20.280 Everybody knows that.

00:03:21.200 But apparently, if you want to train AI to be a self-driving car, words are not enough.

00:03:27.520 So I guess the new version of Tesla's self-driving car AI software has been trained with only video.

00:03:37.000 Now, if you want to have your mind blown, it's coming.

00:03:41.180 They gave it only massive video from cars driving so that it would understand how a car should drive.

00:03:48.600 Without ever being trained on what a roundabout is, you know, a traffic roundabout, it handled it perfectly without even knowing what the concept of a roundabout is.

00:04:01.400 But it was always going to be all the way that it would be possible beyond the last hour, because it had only made some challenges.

00:04:20.880 So that's fun.

00:04:22.220 But watching a car figure out things it had not learned, it had only somehow got it by pattern recognition.

00:04:29.680 Because the car doesn't know what anything is.

00:04:32.580 So it doesn't know what a traffic light is.

00:04:35.260 It has nothing like a definition or an understanding of it.

00:04:39.040 Nothing.

00:04:40.040 It's just pure pattern recognition, and it can drive as well or better than a lot of humans already.

00:04:46.420 All right.

00:04:47.580 Here's an idea from RFK Jr. that I'm going to put squarely in the category of, I'm so glad he's running for president.

00:04:58.300 I'm just so glad.

00:04:59.920 Because he keeps bringing up topics and ideas that seem genuinely nonpartisan.

00:05:08.160 He communicates them well.

00:05:10.780 And here's another one.

00:05:13.420 I'm trying to find some political reason not to like this, but I can't find one.

00:05:18.220 He wants free passports for anybody who wants one.

00:05:23.560 If you have a free passport, then all of your voter ID problems go away.

00:05:29.440 Because everybody can get to a post office.

00:05:32.220 Right?

00:05:32.400 Pretty much everybody's a short drive or a walk away from the post office.

00:05:36.000 So if you can go to a post office and get a free birth certificate, I guess it's a card or something, then your voting ID problem is solved.

00:05:47.740 But as RFK Jr. points out, it also solves banking.

00:05:53.580 Because if you don't have ID, you can't have a bank account.

00:05:56.500 So you would end up getting rid of some of that payday, same day, you know, expensive check cashing stuff for people who don't have banks.

00:06:04.700 So that's an idea that seems like a relatively small change in the existing system that would give Democrats what they want.

00:06:15.300 You know, people will be able to bank.

00:06:17.340 Everybody wants that.

00:06:18.280 That's not a Democrat thing.

00:06:19.300 And also do voter ID.

00:06:22.680 And then who would complain?

00:06:24.180 Who's going to complain?

00:06:25.460 Now, what's wrong with that idea?

00:06:27.300 You know, everything costs money.

00:06:29.380 So it's, you know, not free.

00:06:30.860 But what's wrong with that idea?

00:06:33.580 That's just a solid idea, right?

00:06:35.840 Don't you want more people like this?

00:06:38.840 You know, running for president?

00:06:40.340 I mean, I'm just so happy with the candidates and the way they're running.

00:06:44.520 All right.

00:06:47.140 So Russia reports that they tested the DNA of that plane that went down, that Wagner plane.

00:06:53.820 And sure enough, Russia says that Prigozhin was on the plane. 0.66

00:07:00.120 Yeah, yeah.

00:07:00.900 Now, here's how you know this is true.

00:07:04.160 Because it comes from Russia.

00:07:06.680 And they use science.

00:07:09.720 So I guess there's nothing else to talk about here, is there?

00:07:13.300 Because if there are two things you can believe in 2023, is science and Russia. 0.61

00:07:21.480 I mean, have they ever lied to you?

00:07:24.340 Come on.

00:07:25.740 No, Russia, science, have they ever lied to you?

00:07:28.840 No, of course he was on that plane.

00:07:31.560 Maybe his body was.

00:07:34.600 Or maybe he's still in a basement under Putin's dasha, chained to a wall,

00:07:40.540 so Putin can torture him for the rest of his life.

00:07:44.260 How would you know?

00:07:46.580 Do you think it's case closed?

00:07:49.140 Because we heard it from Russia after they used some science. 0.53

00:07:54.480 And, oh, but wait.

00:07:56.580 If you're concerned about the credibility of Russia plus science,

00:08:01.100 this will make you feel better.

00:08:02.820 It was reported in the news.

00:08:06.660 So then you have three credible sources.

00:08:08.920 You've got your news.

00:08:10.460 They've never lied to you.

00:08:11.800 You've got your Russians. 1.00

00:08:13.400 Honest as the day is long, the government, that is.

00:08:16.940 And then you've got your science, which, as you know, is the gold standard for truth.

00:08:21.420 So you've got your news, your Russians, your science. 0.70

00:08:24.140 I'm going to call that a fact.

00:08:27.400 I'm well in agreement.

00:08:29.280 With that solid evidence, I believe we can conclude.

00:08:33.240 No fake news here.

00:08:35.220 Fact.

00:08:36.380 All right.

00:08:36.880 Good.

00:08:37.800 We're all on the same page there.

00:08:41.260 The EU, I saw this on a Michael Schellenberger tweet,

00:08:46.400 the EU governments are forming truth ministries,

00:08:50.420 basically entities which will determine what their citizens can see

00:08:56.900 and what they can't see based on what some people who are chosen to do this say is true.

00:09:05.720 Now, I don't know what is the worst idea in the world,

00:09:09.880 but it might be that.

00:09:11.240 And I saw one of the representatives in the video clip being asked,

00:09:19.360 who gets to decide what's true, and how do you decide it?

00:09:23.520 And nobody could answer that question, right?

00:09:25.980 It's the unanswerable question.

00:09:27.700 Because obviously, this has nothing to do with truth.

00:09:31.540 This is clearly a power grab.

00:09:33.840 Whoever has that truth ministry will be able to control truth.

00:09:38.940 Or will they?

00:09:39.860 Or will they?

00:09:43.280 Well, you want to hear the happiest idea of the whole day?

00:09:48.000 Do you want to hear something that will make you laugh with happiness,

00:09:51.420 probably for a full week?

00:09:56.560 Do you want AI to go away because it's too dangerous?

00:10:01.160 I can make that happen for you.

00:10:02.840 All you have to do is train one model of AI how to spot fake news.

00:10:11.760 Because it's a pattern.

00:10:13.880 It's all patterns.

00:10:15.980 Oh yeah, you feel it, don't you?

00:10:18.120 Just think about it.

00:10:20.060 AI, no doubt about it.

00:10:22.560 If you can teach AI to drive by looking at videos of driving,

00:10:28.340 you don't think you can get AI to spot fakes?

00:10:32.020 Let me ask you this.

00:10:34.020 There's a news story, and the people pushing it the hardest are Adam Schiff,

00:10:38.580 Eric Swalwell, and Phil Bump from the Washington Post.

00:10:44.640 Is the story true?

00:10:48.440 Let's say those three say it's true,

00:10:51.980 but Alan Dershowitz says it's not,

00:10:55.460 and Jonathan Turley says it's not,

00:10:58.760 and Glenn Greenwald says it's not,

00:11:00.860 and Michael Schellenberger says it's not,

00:11:05.280 just to pick some names.

00:11:07.000 Is it true?

00:11:09.500 Do you think that AI couldn't spot that in like,

00:11:13.740 you know, less time than you imagined as time?

00:11:17.080 That didn't make any sense,

00:11:18.420 but you knew where I was going with it, right?

00:11:21.200 Now, remember I gave you the list of ways to tell fake news.

00:11:26.260 You got your,

00:11:27.280 at the top of the list of probable fake news

00:11:29.720 would be an anonymous account,

00:11:34.600 an anonymous report, one anonymous report.

00:11:39.020 Do you think you couldn't teach AI

00:11:41.000 to look for an anonymous report?

00:11:44.840 Do you think you could teach AI

00:11:47.240 to spot a RUPAR?

00:11:50.000 Do you know what a RUPAR is?

00:11:51.880 So a RUPAR is named after journalists named RUPAR,

00:11:56.340 is when you take out some context from a story

00:11:59.080 to reverse its meaning.

00:12:01.440 If you asked AI,

00:12:03.700 was the fine people hoax a hoax,

00:12:06.180 how hard would it be for AI

00:12:08.320 to figure out that it was?

00:12:10.180 Because if it would know to look for context

00:12:12.260 that's missing,

00:12:13.500 it would just go look for the context that's missing.

00:12:16.500 It knows how to understand words,

00:12:18.580 you know, where it seems to,

00:12:19.380 and it would know in a heartbeat how the hoax was created,

00:12:22.500 and it would also see the debunking videos, et cetera.

00:12:27.500 So yeah, it was spotted in a heartbeat.

00:12:32.080 Let me give you one that happened today,

00:12:34.160 and let me see if you think that AI could have spotted this.

00:12:39.200 So ask yourself,

00:12:41.060 could you have trained AI in advance to spot this one?

00:12:45.680 It's a RUPAR, and let's see,

00:12:47.240 this comes from an Axe post,

00:12:51.060 which you used to call Twitter,

00:12:52.920 from somebody named,

00:12:54.020 oh, it's from RUPAR.

00:12:56.340 It's from RUPAR, Aaron RUPAR.

00:12:58.560 And he has a video clip of Dana Bash

00:13:02.180 talking to Vivek Ramaswamy.

00:13:04.500 He says that Dana Bash reads,

00:13:07.600 Vivek Ramaswamy,

00:13:08.580 a 2018 report from the Trump administration

00:13:10.540 that sounded an alarm about climate change

00:13:12.500 to push back on his position that,

00:13:15.860 wait for it,

00:13:17.100 his position that climate change is a hoax.

00:13:22.360 Do you believe that it's true?

00:13:24.900 That Vivek says climate change is a hoax.

00:13:28.000 No, it's not true.

00:13:29.840 That's a RUPAR.

00:13:31.220 It's a RUPAR from RUPAR.

00:13:34.000 He's leaving out agenda.

00:13:37.080 So what Vivek says is that the agenda,

00:13:39.500 in other words, the way you deal with it,

00:13:41.700 is the hoax part,

00:13:42.920 not the base science.

00:13:45.640 So do you think that AI

00:13:47.400 could have been trained to look at this story

00:13:50.440 and compare it to the context

00:13:52.680 that it could find from other sources of Vivek?

00:13:55.500 And would it be able to spot this

00:13:57.160 as an obvious RUPAR?

00:13:59.300 Of course it could.

00:14:00.520 It wouldn't even be hard.

00:14:01.820 I spotted it.

00:14:02.700 I'm no AI.

00:14:03.240 It took me no seconds to spot it.

00:14:08.020 How many of you,

00:14:08.920 did anybody spot it before I tweeted it?

00:14:10.820 You know, I tweeted it so you can see it.

00:14:12.700 But did anybody else spot it right away?

00:14:14.940 Sure you did.

00:14:15.500 Because it's a pattern.

00:14:17.700 It's a very, very familiar pattern.

00:14:20.560 And if AI simply learned that there's one person

00:14:23.520 who's famous for doing it,

00:14:25.400 and they saw his account,

00:14:27.300 you don't think AI would say,

00:14:28.580 well, there's the first red flag.

00:14:30.520 It's coming from the place

00:14:31.920 where most of these come from.

00:14:34.300 Of course.

00:14:35.280 Of course it can spot the pattern.

00:14:38.040 Now let me ask you this.

00:14:40.180 Once you trained an AI to spot fake news,

00:14:44.340 and once it was successful doing so,

00:14:47.400 do you think it could stay legal?

00:14:50.520 Nope.

00:14:51.660 There is no chance that that would stay legal.

00:14:54.740 It would have to be made illegal,

00:14:56.760 or, this is worse,

00:14:59.060 you would have to make it conform

00:15:00.640 to Democrat fact-checking sources.

00:15:04.120 So in other words,

00:15:04.900 you wouldn't be able to have an AI

00:15:06.540 that did not conform

00:15:08.580 to what the ministries of truth

00:15:11.040 told you was true.

00:15:13.040 They would literally make it illegal

00:15:14.660 for AI to use,

00:15:16.820 hold it,

00:15:17.980 pattern recognition.

00:15:20.060 Pattern recognition will be illegal.

00:15:23.460 It has to be.

00:15:24.940 This is one thing I can guarantee.

00:15:28.000 AI with pure pattern recognition

00:15:30.000 without being fact-checked

00:15:31.900 by some Democrat source,

00:15:33.520 it will absolutely be illegal.

00:15:35.220 Because they wouldn't be able

00:15:36.820 to maintain any power

00:15:37.880 if that happened.

00:15:40.940 Just think about that.

00:15:42.760 It has to be illegal.

00:15:44.740 Otherwise, they're out of business.

00:15:46.420 And there's no way

00:15:47.260 they're just going to say,

00:15:48.000 well, okay, you got me.

00:15:49.260 You got us.

00:15:50.540 You got me.

00:15:51.800 Darn it.

00:15:52.800 You know, we had a good run,

00:15:53.920 but you got me.

00:15:54.860 We'll just stop doing it now.

00:15:56.600 No.

00:15:57.420 They will try to stop AI.

00:15:59.760 Now here's the best question.

00:16:01.260 Do you think they could succeed?

00:16:03.260 Because, as you know,

00:16:06.060 AI can now run

00:16:07.040 on your own computer.

00:16:09.480 Yeah.

00:16:10.820 As long as it's at least

00:16:12.180 on the dark web,

00:16:13.440 you know,

00:16:13.740 a copy of it that could run,

00:16:15.240 there will always be

00:16:16.100 a copy of AI

00:16:17.060 that can still tell you the truth.

00:16:19.940 But,

00:16:20.700 do you think you'll go to jail forever

00:16:22.720 if you have a copy?

00:16:24.800 Probably.

00:16:27.020 Probably, yeah.

00:16:27.840 All right.

00:16:33.740 Speaking of AI,

00:16:35.640 I saw a tweet

00:16:37.220 by Brian Romeli,

00:16:38.600 who's,

00:16:39.520 you know,

00:16:39.980 I talk about him a lot.

00:16:41.260 He's one of the most

00:16:42.240 interesting voices,

00:16:43.620 smartest guy

00:16:44.320 on the topic of AI.

00:16:47.040 And lots of other stuff,

00:16:48.500 but AI is where he's

00:16:49.960 really getting a lot of

00:16:51.620 justified attention lately.

00:16:53.060 And he read my book,

00:16:55.560 Reframe Your Brain,

00:16:56.520 and he said this

00:16:57.240 in a tweet,

00:16:58.220 I have found a very

00:16:59.000 powerful technology

00:17:00.260 to reframe human context.

00:17:03.080 He's talking about my book,

00:17:04.400 Reframe Your Brain.

00:17:05.420 I'm finding this technology

00:17:06.760 quite useful

00:17:07.420 in training AI.

00:17:11.140 So he's actually using

00:17:12.460 the reframe form,

00:17:15.580 which is just,

00:17:16.400 you know,

00:17:16.580 this is a sentence

00:17:17.500 that's not too productive

00:17:18.980 for your head,

00:17:19.600 and here's a sentence

00:17:20.960 that's better for your head,

00:17:22.480 you know,

00:17:22.680 gets you to a more

00:17:23.740 productive or happier place.

00:17:25.780 Just think about that.

00:17:28.160 Here's my next AI prediction.

00:17:33.460 It will necessarily happen

00:17:35.560 because this is how

00:17:37.240 humans operate.

00:17:38.980 The AI will start to have,

00:17:41.420 let's say,

00:17:42.200 branded personalities.

00:17:45.380 And they might be

00:17:46.040 branded personalities

00:17:47.040 that are based on real people.

00:17:49.600 For example,

00:17:50.800 if there was somebody,

00:17:51.940 some public figure,

00:17:53.400 that you said to yourself,

00:17:54.460 you know what,

00:17:55.340 there's somebody

00:17:55.960 who can just see both sides

00:17:58.340 and has a good general character,

00:18:01.440 haven't seen them lie,

00:18:03.200 they usually are trying to help,

00:18:05.520 and then you say,

00:18:06.180 you know,

00:18:06.440 the best we can do for AI,

00:18:08.280 since AI will have

00:18:09.260 so many different situations

00:18:11.100 to navigate,

00:18:12.500 is to give it

00:18:13.420 a character personality

00:18:15.020 so that it never leaves

00:18:17.220 what that character would do.

00:18:18.740 sort of a simple way

00:18:20.720 to give it a set of guidelines

00:18:23.020 so it doesn't become dangerous.

00:18:25.180 So you'd say,

00:18:25.700 who would you pick,

00:18:26.460 for example?

00:18:29.940 Who's the most credible,

00:18:31.980 honest person

00:18:32.800 who's not me?

00:18:36.540 Yeah,

00:18:37.080 I mean,

00:18:37.960 I'd love it to be me,

00:18:38.940 of course,

00:18:39.320 but don't pick me

00:18:40.660 because that's too controversial.

00:18:42.200 Thomas Massey.

00:18:46.800 Thomas Massey,

00:18:47.800 I'd pick him.

00:18:48.640 Schellenberger,

00:18:49.220 I'd pick him.

00:18:50.880 Turley,

00:18:51.960 I'd pick Joe Rogan,

00:18:52.980 I'd pick him.

00:18:54.240 Yeah.

00:18:57.480 Yeah,

00:18:58.040 Dershowitz,

00:18:58.880 I would pick him.

00:19:01.700 Greenwald,

00:19:02.720 Peterson.

00:19:03.620 Now,

00:19:04.120 if you go to Greenwald

00:19:05.520 and Peterson,

00:19:06.080 you can kind of get

00:19:10.160 to the point

00:19:10.660 where some people

00:19:11.480 would disagree.

00:19:13.560 You know,

00:19:13.740 Peterson's a little more

00:19:14.680 opinion-based,

00:19:16.660 whereas,

00:19:17.320 well,

00:19:17.520 he's fact-based,

00:19:18.240 but he's got an opinion

00:19:19.000 on top of it.

00:19:20.940 Whereas,

00:19:21.580 I would say,

00:19:22.060 somebody like a

00:19:22.960 Turley or a Dershowitz

00:19:24.680 are far more

00:19:26.740 fact-based

00:19:27.860 than opinion-based.

00:19:29.820 Yeah.

00:19:30.940 So anyway,

00:19:31.820 but you can imagine

00:19:32.720 picking one of those

00:19:34.480 personalities and saying,

00:19:36.120 I would be comfortable

00:19:37.200 if my AI did

00:19:38.420 whatever this person does.

00:19:40.420 You know,

00:19:40.680 if it just reads

00:19:41.760 this person's

00:19:42.440 whole history

00:19:43.020 and says,

00:19:43.960 okay,

00:19:44.160 they don't lie,

00:19:45.260 so I won't lie.

00:19:46.920 They don't do this

00:19:48.060 or that,

00:19:48.500 so I won't do it.

00:19:49.560 They don't break the law,

00:19:51.440 so if there's something

00:19:52.220 that would break the law,

00:19:53.140 I won't do it.

00:19:54.680 So I think,

00:19:55.480 just like the

00:19:56.180 massive video

00:19:57.140 that trains the car

00:19:58.140 to drive

00:19:58.640 without actually

00:19:59.300 teaching it to drive,

00:20:00.260 I think you could

00:20:01.520 just make it

00:20:02.180 massively understand

00:20:03.720 one person

00:20:04.440 who has the character

00:20:05.580 that you want

00:20:06.260 and that's how

00:20:09.040 AI will be built

00:20:10.060 because otherwise

00:20:11.160 you're going to have

00:20:11.860 to give it a bunch

00:20:12.600 of rules,

00:20:14.220 social rules,

00:20:15.460 and they're going

00:20:16.740 to be incomplete.

00:20:18.360 I guess that's the point.

00:20:19.700 Any rules you give AI

00:20:21.240 about how to operate

00:20:22.120 will necessarily

00:20:23.180 be incomplete

00:20:24.560 because you can't

00:20:25.440 imagine every situation.

00:20:27.680 So instead,

00:20:28.360 you give it

00:20:28.680 a human personality

00:20:29.760 because you can

00:20:30.980 trust a human

00:20:31.880 if you've watched

00:20:33.040 them for 40 years.

00:20:35.100 You wouldn't give it

00:20:36.080 a young human personality.

00:20:37.940 You'd give it

00:20:38.380 a wiser,

00:20:40.280 successful,

00:20:41.380 older one.

00:20:43.140 All right.

00:20:46.220 I've offered

00:20:47.120 to deprogram

00:20:49.220 a Democrat

00:20:50.200 in a public setting,

00:20:52.820 let's say a live stream,

00:20:54.100 just as a demonstration.

00:20:55.660 Now,

00:20:57.760 nobody qualified

00:20:59.460 or, you know,

00:21:00.940 who fits the right

00:21:01.560 demographic

00:21:02.040 is going to volunteer.

00:21:03.500 What will happen

00:21:04.120 instead is you'll get

00:21:05.300 Republicans volunteering

00:21:06.580 and pretending

00:21:07.220 to be Democrats.

00:21:08.620 You'll get Democrats

00:21:09.780 volunteering

00:21:10.340 but only to ruin it.

00:21:12.740 You know,

00:21:12.940 they'll pretend

00:21:13.600 that they're up

00:21:14.400 for the experiment

00:21:15.180 but then really

00:21:16.080 they're there

00:21:16.440 just to destroy it.

00:21:18.060 So it would be

00:21:18.860 kind of,

00:21:19.420 it would be kind of hard

00:21:23.200 to find somebody

00:21:24.100 who was honest.

00:21:26.020 Somebody who I honestly

00:21:27.260 wanted to experience

00:21:28.500 to find out

00:21:30.120 if they'd been hypnotized

00:21:31.360 or brainwashed.

00:21:32.600 And that would be

00:21:33.300 kind of hard to find.

00:21:35.000 Somebody who actually

00:21:36.180 wants to know

00:21:37.760 for sure

00:21:39.360 if they'd been brainwashed.

00:21:41.660 And I could actually

00:21:42.620 provide that answer

00:21:43.640 you know,

00:21:44.560 with working with somebody.

00:21:46.820 So,

00:21:48.480 Mark Cuban

00:21:49.640 would be perfect

00:21:50.500 is a suggestion.

00:21:54.120 Would he?

00:21:55.540 You know,

00:21:56.160 I've had just

00:21:58.200 enough interaction

00:22:00.220 with Mark Cuban

00:22:01.160 to know that

00:22:02.860 he can back

00:22:03.920 his arguments

00:22:04.460 better than

00:22:05.000 just about anybody.

00:22:08.940 So,

00:22:10.320 I don't know

00:22:11.240 that he's,

00:22:12.040 I don't think he's,

00:22:13.140 I don't think he's

00:22:14.820 got TDS at all

00:22:15.840 actually

00:22:16.180 in my interactions.

00:22:19.660 He has a point of view

00:22:20.940 and sometimes

00:22:21.860 it disagrees with mine

00:22:22.800 but I'm not talking

00:22:23.820 about changing

00:22:24.360 somebody's mind.

00:22:26.380 So,

00:22:26.760 the reason

00:22:27.520 that Mark Cuban

00:22:28.120 would not be

00:22:28.840 a good choice

00:22:29.840 for deprogramming

00:22:30.780 is I don't think

00:22:31.380 he's hypnotized

00:22:32.140 in the first place.

00:22:34.320 Bill Maher

00:22:34.900 clearly has something

00:22:35.980 going on

00:22:36.620 that's,

00:22:38.180 there's some kind

00:22:38.800 of distortion there.

00:22:40.280 Mark Cuban

00:22:40.860 is just somebody

00:22:41.800 who has a set

00:22:42.520 of preferences

00:22:43.060 that he argues

00:22:45.080 very well.

00:22:46.420 He doesn't seem

00:22:47.040 to have any kind

00:22:47.620 of illusions going on.

00:22:48.960 I've never seen any.

00:22:49.640 Now,

00:22:51.380 and then,

00:22:52.220 you know,

00:22:52.380 the problem

00:22:52.720 with the Rob Reiner

00:22:53.660 obviously wouldn't do it

00:22:55.720 but if somebody

00:22:57.000 like a Rob Reiner

00:22:57.760 wanted to experiment,

00:22:59.740 how could you

00:23:00.840 trust an actor?

00:23:03.280 Don't you suspect

00:23:04.240 that Rob Reiner

00:23:05.100 is acting

00:23:05.840 and that he doesn't

00:23:08.000 necessarily believe

00:23:09.040 everything he tweets

00:23:10.260 but it's good

00:23:11.380 for his side,

00:23:12.740 right?

00:23:12.960 It's just,

00:23:13.440 he's supporting a team.

00:23:14.940 So,

00:23:15.700 I can't read his mind

00:23:17.420 so I don't know

00:23:18.560 what Rob Reiner

00:23:19.260 is thinking.

00:23:20.440 I know that the way

00:23:21.240 he acts

00:23:21.820 doesn't look rational

00:23:23.660 but I don't know

00:23:25.360 that he doesn't

00:23:25.880 know that.

00:23:27.240 I don't know

00:23:27.800 that he's,

00:23:28.640 you know,

00:23:29.200 unaware that

00:23:30.100 he's playing

00:23:31.200 a role.

00:23:32.360 To me,

00:23:32.620 it looks like a role.

00:23:34.220 So,

00:23:34.580 you can't really

00:23:35.060 trust an actor

00:23:35.840 because you never

00:23:36.900 really know

00:23:37.780 because they'd be

00:23:38.940 too good at fooling you

00:23:40.120 because they're actors.

00:23:44.300 Pick someone young

00:23:47.080 because someone old

00:23:48.100 would be too difficult

00:23:48.980 to accept.

00:23:52.020 But,

00:23:52.500 but I think

00:23:54.340 it's a good show

00:23:55.160 whether they get,

00:23:56.020 whether they get

00:23:57.720 deprogrammed

00:23:58.600 or whether you see

00:23:59.440 cognitive dissonance.

00:24:01.100 It would be interesting

00:24:02.220 either way

00:24:02.660 because I would tell you

00:24:03.680 what to look for.

00:24:04.720 I would say

00:24:05.520 before we start

00:24:06.480 the deprogramming,

00:24:08.360 I'll tell you

00:24:09.100 what to look for

00:24:09.900 if cognitive dissonance

00:24:11.600 happens.

00:24:12.580 So,

00:24:12.760 I'd say

00:24:13.120 one thing to look for

00:24:14.940 is the filibuster

00:24:16.680 where the person

00:24:18.100 keeps talking

00:24:18.820 and won't let me,

00:24:19.800 you know,

00:24:20.680 orient the conversation.

00:24:21.940 That would be a sign.

00:24:23.420 Another sign

00:24:24.240 would be the word salad

00:24:25.320 where they're talking

00:24:26.620 but the sentences

00:24:27.600 are like,

00:24:28.320 hmm,

00:24:28.700 I'm not even sure

00:24:29.560 those are making

00:24:30.980 any sense.

00:24:32.220 And there are a few others

00:24:33.060 but,

00:24:33.740 you know,

00:24:34.120 it'd be fun to

00:24:34.920 tell you what to look for

00:24:36.380 and then create

00:24:38.220 the cognitive dissonance

00:24:39.580 and then call it out

00:24:41.180 and the person

00:24:42.220 experiencing it

00:24:43.000 would just get mad

00:24:43.700 because they won't

00:24:44.200 see it.

00:24:45.300 You know,

00:24:45.480 they'll think

00:24:46.100 you're mocking them

00:24:46.800 or something.

00:24:49.560 All right,

00:24:50.160 well,

00:24:50.840 if I find the right

00:24:51.960 person for that,

00:24:52.640 I'll do it.

00:24:56.280 So,

00:24:56.900 Vivek is being

00:24:58.180 called some kind

00:25:00.280 of a Russian asset.

00:25:02.380 That's the latest one.

00:25:04.200 Let me see.

00:25:05.140 Let's put this

00:25:05.820 through the AI

00:25:06.720 that doesn't exist yet.

00:25:09.500 Typing into the AI,

00:25:10.700 let's see

00:25:12.420 if you can find

00:25:12.860 a pattern.

00:25:14.000 There's a Republican

00:25:15.040 candidate

00:25:15.660 who's a,

00:25:17.200 let's see,

00:25:17.980 a populist,

00:25:18.820 a populist.

00:25:19.900 He is rising

00:25:20.820 in the polls,

00:25:22.060 exceeding expectations

00:25:23.500 and he's being

00:25:26.400 accused

00:25:27.000 of being

00:25:27.960 a Russian

00:25:28.740 plant

00:25:29.820 that really

00:25:30.520 he's working

00:25:31.140 for Russia.

00:25:33.640 So,

00:25:34.220 see if I can

00:25:35.080 come up

00:25:35.400 with a pattern.

00:25:36.320 Yep,

00:25:36.580 oh,

00:25:36.820 it came up

00:25:37.260 with a pattern

00:25:37.700 recognition.

00:25:39.080 Yeah,

00:25:39.260 it turns out

00:25:40.740 that when

00:25:41.700 populist

00:25:42.560 Republicans

00:25:43.620 who don't

00:25:45.060 want war, 0.91

00:25:46.880 when they're

00:25:48.000 involved,

00:25:48.700 there seems

00:25:49.820 to pop up

00:25:50.460 a Russia 0.89

00:25:51.020 collusion hoax

00:25:52.240 how often?

00:25:53.580 Let me check

00:25:54.280 how often?

00:25:55.140 100 percent.

00:25:56.340 100 percent

00:25:56.980 of the time.

00:25:58.280 Yeah.

00:25:59.160 Now,

00:25:59.520 seriously,

00:26:00.180 you don't think

00:26:01.120 an AI

00:26:01.540 could spot this?

00:26:04.160 Anybody?

00:26:05.160 Is there anybody

00:26:05.880 who thinks

00:26:06.320 AI

00:26:06.800 can't spot this?

00:26:09.260 Come on.

00:26:11.440 The pattern

00:26:12.220 could not

00:26:12.740 be more

00:26:14.140 obvious.

00:26:15.800 Right?

00:26:16.080 If I can

00:26:16.740 spot it,

00:26:17.280 I'm pretty

00:26:17.700 sure AI

00:26:18.200 can spot

00:26:18.780 it.

00:26:20.640 But this

00:26:21.380 is based

00:26:21.800 on,

00:26:22.180 I guess

00:26:22.500 there's

00:26:22.720 some Russian

00:26:23.540 news channel

00:26:24.200 where the

00:26:25.140 Russians said 0.94

00:26:25.860 their first

00:26:26.680 choice would

00:26:27.160 be Trump

00:26:27.680 because he

00:26:28.940 wants to

00:26:29.340 end the

00:26:29.600 war,

00:26:30.020 and their

00:26:30.980 second choice

00:26:31.600 would be

00:26:31.980 Vivek

00:26:32.540 because he

00:26:34.080 wants to

00:26:34.440 end the

00:26:34.740 war.

00:26:35.000 even the

00:26:39.880 Russian

00:26:40.540 newscasters

00:26:41.320 are not

00:26:41.700 even saying

00:26:42.160 to win

00:26:42.540 the war.

00:26:43.220 They're not

00:26:43.840 saying we

00:26:44.320 want to

00:26:44.680 win the

00:26:45.040 war.

00:26:45.860 They're

00:26:46.300 saying they

00:26:46.620 want to

00:26:46.880 end the

00:26:47.280 war.

00:26:48.900 These are

00:26:49.500 Russian people

00:26:50.160 saying they

00:26:50.560 want to

00:26:50.820 end the

00:26:51.200 war that

00:26:51.880 their own

00:26:52.640 boss,

00:26:53.720 Putin,

00:26:54.860 is pressing.

00:26:57.940 Does it

00:26:58.520 sound like

00:26:58.960 anything except

00:26:59.760 they happen

00:27:00.200 to be on

00:27:00.580 the same

00:27:00.880 side?

00:27:01.240 the fact

00:27:03.660 that your

00:27:04.140 mind is

00:27:05.460 somehow

00:27:05.740 connecting

00:27:06.280 that Russia 0.72

00:27:06.880 is running

00:27:07.540 Vivek because

00:27:08.880 he doesn't

00:27:09.400 want a

00:27:09.740 useless war?

00:27:11.880 Where's the

00:27:12.540 connecting logic

00:27:13.360 to that?

00:27:16.020 As far as I

00:27:17.040 know, I'm

00:27:18.140 not influenced

00:27:18.900 by any

00:27:19.440 Russians, but 0.99

00:27:21.180 I like an

00:27:21.720 end to the

00:27:22.100 war.

00:27:23.340 Am I now

00:27:24.640 a Russian

00:27:25.160 asset?

00:27:26.680 Because I

00:27:27.440 don't like a

00:27:28.080 war that

00:27:28.420 doesn't seem

00:27:28.900 to have an

00:27:29.460 obvious purpose?

00:27:31.240 Yes, I

00:27:32.380 am, apparently.

00:27:33.720 Yes, I

00:27:34.100 am.

00:27:35.260 All right.

00:27:37.200 So I

00:27:38.400 saw Ben

00:27:38.860 Domenech

00:27:39.700 tweeted that

00:27:41.180 Vivek is a

00:27:42.040 plant.

00:27:45.020 And Vivek

00:27:46.000 saw that and

00:27:46.740 he answered

00:27:47.560 back,

00:27:48.500 false.

00:27:49.620 I am an

00:27:50.180 animal.

00:27:51.900 Okay.

00:27:52.660 All right.

00:27:53.300 All right.

00:27:54.020 That's good

00:27:54.500 tweeting.

00:27:55.380 That's just

00:27:55.820 good tweeting.

00:27:56.960 It's a dad

00:27:57.620 joke.

00:27:58.780 It's a dad

00:27:59.460 joke.

00:27:59.800 But those

00:28:01.080 are not

00:28:01.480 just allowed.

00:28:03.000 Those are

00:28:03.480 encouraged.

00:28:04.820 In the context

00:28:06.240 of a national

00:28:06.960 race, a dad

00:28:08.180 joke, a good

00:28:08.840 dad joke that

00:28:09.580 lands, that's

00:28:11.820 just the juice

00:28:13.580 you need.

00:28:14.940 Yeah.

00:28:15.500 You don't need

00:28:16.160 to be too

00:28:16.600 clever. 0.51

00:28:17.980 You just have

00:28:18.880 to be

00:28:19.140 interesting.

00:28:20.220 You just

00:28:20.620 have to take

00:28:21.800 unserious things

00:28:23.740 unseriously.

00:28:25.480 Good answer.

00:28:26.300 All right.

00:28:27.800 As you

00:28:31.280 know, Trump

00:28:33.500 is being

00:28:33.940 charged with

00:28:34.580 insurrection,

00:28:35.660 not legally.

00:28:37.140 No, no.

00:28:37.720 There's no

00:28:38.100 legal case

00:28:38.740 charging him

00:28:39.300 with insurrection.

00:28:40.440 But does that

00:28:41.200 stop a

00:28:42.480 Democrat

00:28:43.080 lawyer from

00:28:44.580 trying to

00:28:45.900 get him not

00:28:46.800 to be able

00:28:47.360 to run for

00:28:48.100 election based

00:28:49.360 on an

00:28:50.380 insurrection

00:28:50.860 that no

00:28:51.480 court has

00:28:52.100 found evidence

00:28:53.960 to charge him

00:28:54.600 for?

00:28:54.760 Yes.

00:28:56.440 So, yes,

00:28:57.320 they're moving

00:28:57.740 forward to

00:28:58.880 try to take

00:28:59.400 him out of

00:28:59.700 the race

00:29:00.000 for insurrection,

00:29:01.320 something that

00:29:02.420 no court has

00:29:03.360 found to be

00:29:03.900 true.

00:29:05.460 Now, do

00:29:06.480 you know

00:29:06.820 why, you

00:29:08.740 know, the

00:29:08.940 big reason

00:29:09.480 they think

00:29:10.700 it's an

00:29:11.040 insurrection?

00:29:12.740 Because they

00:29:14.180 found no

00:29:15.600 evidence of

00:29:18.260 fraud that

00:29:19.620 was big

00:29:19.940 enough to

00:29:20.280 change the

00:29:20.700 result in

00:29:21.640 the 2020

00:29:22.180 election,

00:29:22.660 and yet

00:29:23.540 Trump

00:29:25.580 claimed that

00:29:26.880 fraud existed

00:29:28.140 and the

00:29:30.180 argument against

00:29:30.880 that was

00:29:31.480 what?

00:29:31.900 Can you

00:29:32.140 remind me?

00:29:32.600 What was

00:29:33.180 the argument

00:29:33.700 against Trump's

00:29:36.020 claim that

00:29:36.660 there was

00:29:37.040 fraud?

00:29:38.400 What was

00:29:39.020 the argument

00:29:39.440 that closed

00:29:40.840 that down?

00:29:42.940 Oh, yeah,

00:29:43.400 no, that's

00:29:44.080 right, the

00:29:44.440 courts, no

00:29:45.220 court have

00:29:45.620 found it.

00:29:46.900 Right.

00:29:47.180 So the way

00:29:47.640 that you know

00:29:48.060 for sure that

00:29:49.980 there was no

00:29:50.480 fraud is that

00:29:51.200 no court

00:29:51.640 found it.

00:29:52.660 That standard

00:29:54.220 doesn't apply

00:29:55.040 to insurrection

00:29:56.660 because although

00:29:58.220 no courts

00:29:58.960 found that

00:29:59.560 insurrection

00:30:00.060 existed, even

00:30:01.880 though they

00:30:02.240 looked pretty

00:30:02.680 hard to, you

00:30:03.880 know, make

00:30:04.140 a case that

00:30:04.660 some court

00:30:05.080 would take,

00:30:06.060 no court

00:30:06.720 saw anything

00:30:07.380 that they

00:30:07.800 would take.

00:30:09.540 So you've

00:30:10.280 got opposite

00:30:11.080 standards in

00:30:12.000 the same

00:30:12.360 case.

00:30:13.460 In the same

00:30:13.920 case.

00:30:14.800 I'm not

00:30:15.140 saying that

00:30:15.560 one case

00:30:16.120 was different

00:30:16.760 and then,

00:30:17.960 you know,

00:30:18.120 now this

00:30:18.600 case is

00:30:19.540 different.

00:30:22.260 Sometimes I

00:30:23.000 can't complete

00:30:23.540 a sentence.

00:30:25.420 Right?

00:30:26.760 You see it,

00:30:27.580 right?

00:30:27.780 Am I making

00:30:28.200 my point?

00:30:29.480 That if it's

00:30:30.320 true that if a

00:30:31.200 court didn't

00:30:31.820 find it, it

00:30:32.540 must not be

00:30:33.120 true, but when

00:30:34.180 it comes to

00:30:34.620 insurrection, it's

00:30:35.960 not true.

00:30:36.560 It's the

00:30:36.860 opposite.

00:30:37.820 And they're

00:30:38.180 both part of

00:30:38.760 the same

00:30:39.380 legal action.

00:30:41.840 The same

00:30:42.440 legal action

00:30:43.060 wants you to

00:30:43.660 accept both

00:30:44.860 standards at the

00:30:45.720 same time, and

00:30:46.460 they're opposites.

00:30:47.100 Now, do you

00:30:48.980 think that

00:30:49.380 anything like

00:30:50.240 a legitimate

00:30:51.960 process is

00:30:52.900 happening in

00:30:53.420 the United

00:30:53.720 States?

00:30:54.560 No.

00:30:55.260 There's nothing

00:30:55.820 legitimate

00:30:56.260 happening here.

00:30:57.520 This is

00:30:57.880 completely

00:30:58.260 illegitimate.

00:31:01.420 All right.

00:31:03.680 There's a,

00:31:04.520 I love this,

00:31:05.980 there's a

00:31:06.460 compilation

00:31:06.860 video going

00:31:07.780 around showing

00:31:09.220 in the beginning

00:31:09.800 of the pandemic

00:31:10.500 when the

00:31:11.340 WHO and

00:31:12.640 I think the

00:31:13.360 CDC and

00:31:14.320 basically all

00:31:14.960 the smart

00:31:15.320 people were

00:31:15.740 saying at

00:31:16.640 the beginning

00:31:17.060 that the

00:31:17.580 COVID death

00:31:18.140 rate was

00:31:18.600 3.4%,

00:31:19.780 which is a

00:31:21.280 scary high

00:31:21.920 number.

00:31:23.260 Trump, at

00:31:23.800 the same

00:31:24.180 time, said

00:31:25.380 he'd been

00:31:25.800 talking to

00:31:26.500 people,

00:31:27.260 obviously

00:31:27.640 experts, and

00:31:29.280 he was sure

00:31:30.720 that the

00:31:31.140 real rate was

00:31:32.540 a fraction

00:31:33.140 of 1%.

00:31:34.160 And you

00:31:35.120 watch the

00:31:35.520 video and

00:31:36.020 all the

00:31:36.240 people are

00:31:36.540 3.4,

00:31:37.240 3.4,

00:31:37.980 3.4,

00:31:38.860 and then

00:31:39.520 they're

00:31:39.760 mocking

00:31:40.240 Trump.

00:31:41.840 The news

00:31:42.700 is just

00:31:43.060 mocking him

00:31:43.620 for saying,

00:31:44.020 and then

00:31:44.340 Trump's

00:31:44.840 saying,

00:31:45.940 he thinks

00:31:46.520 it's less

00:31:47.540 than 1%

00:31:49.140 based on

00:31:50.940 what?

00:31:52.060 What, his

00:31:52.740 hunch?

00:31:54.880 Just based

00:31:55.460 on a hunch?

00:31:56.980 Right?

00:31:57.340 When all

00:31:58.020 the experts,

00:31:59.240 and then of

00:31:59.820 course the

00:32:00.180 punchline is

00:32:01.700 that the

00:32:02.200 experts changed

00:32:03.120 to half of

00:32:04.500 1%, and

00:32:06.540 lower I think

00:32:07.380 now.

00:32:08.280 So Trump

00:32:08.860 was 100%

00:32:10.020 right from

00:32:11.600 the gang

00:32:12.040 go.

00:32:13.620 Why?

00:32:14.740 Probably

00:32:15.180 because he

00:32:15.620 didn't trust

00:32:16.640 big organizations

00:32:17.820 and experts.

00:32:19.880 Yeah.

00:32:20.800 So when

00:32:21.520 you see

00:32:21.840 Trump's

00:32:22.380 instincts,

00:32:24.480 and let's

00:32:25.000 say climate

00:32:26.000 change,

00:32:27.160 when Trump

00:32:28.520 said climate

00:32:29.340 change is a

00:32:29.980 hoax, I'm

00:32:31.140 sure that what

00:32:31.740 he actually

00:32:32.220 meant was

00:32:33.900 the whole

00:32:34.500 rigmarole

00:32:35.180 around it.

00:32:36.160 I don't

00:32:36.500 think he

00:32:36.840 was specifically

00:32:37.380 talking about

00:32:38.060 the science

00:32:39.160 claims, you

00:32:40.300 know, that

00:32:40.600 CO2 could

00:32:41.700 cause warming.

00:32:42.640 I think he

00:32:43.160 was talking

00:32:43.540 about the

00:32:43.900 whole situation,

00:32:45.600 like Vivek,

00:32:46.440 but Vivek adds

00:32:47.320 agenda so it's

00:32:48.220 more clear,

00:32:49.200 until Aaron

00:32:49.920 Rupar takes

00:32:50.600 it out.

00:32:52.600 So what if

00:32:53.700 the same

00:32:55.020 hunch that

00:32:57.500 we see

00:32:58.160 Trump being

00:32:58.900 right about

00:32:59.340 all the

00:32:59.660 time, and

00:33:00.300 it's based

00:33:00.680 on not

00:33:01.520 trusting

00:33:01.920 experts,

00:33:03.700 what if

00:33:04.220 he's right

00:33:04.620 about his

00:33:04.960 other hunches?

00:33:07.280 Election.

00:33:08.060 I mean,

00:33:10.420 anything could

00:33:10.900 happen.

00:33:11.820 Anything could

00:33:12.320 happen.

00:33:14.420 All right,

00:33:15.280 you may have

00:33:17.580 heard me say

00:33:18.260 that it's

00:33:19.380 necessary to

00:33:20.220 do a

00:33:20.540 RICO case 0.67

00:33:21.160 against

00:33:21.480 Democrat

00:33:21.980 leadership,

00:33:22.860 because at

00:33:23.620 this point,

00:33:24.180 it appears

00:33:24.680 that there

00:33:25.160 is an

00:33:25.660 organized

00:33:26.080 group,

00:33:27.020 probably the

00:33:27.780 same group

00:33:28.260 largely,

00:33:29.320 that has

00:33:30.340 been running

00:33:30.820 everything from

00:33:31.520 the fine

00:33:32.000 people hoax

00:33:32.720 to the

00:33:33.240 Russia

00:33:33.780 collusion

00:33:34.300 hoax,

00:33:34.720 the laptop

00:33:35.180 hoax,

00:33:35.860 the drinking

00:33:37.260 bleach

00:33:37.720 hoax,

00:33:38.440 the insurrection

00:33:41.600 hoax,

00:33:42.720 and it's

00:33:43.340 all the

00:33:43.620 same cast

00:33:44.160 of characters.

00:33:45.480 They have

00:33:46.000 money involved,

00:33:47.280 jobs,

00:33:48.000 power,

00:33:48.420 money,

00:33:49.140 so there's

00:33:49.700 a financial

00:33:50.320 interest,

00:33:51.500 they're

00:33:51.800 organized,

00:33:52.860 and this

00:33:53.660 was my

00:33:54.040 claim.

00:33:54.380 My claim

00:33:54.800 is that

00:33:55.080 now it's

00:33:55.440 very clear

00:33:56.060 with the

00:33:56.440 things that

00:33:56.820 we all

00:33:57.120 know,

00:33:57.720 no speculation,

00:33:59.520 just the

00:33:59.940 things that

00:34:00.280 we know

00:34:00.620 for sure,

00:34:02.360 it looks

00:34:02.800 exactly like

00:34:03.540 a RICO 0.76

00:34:04.040 organized

00:34:04.660 criminal

00:34:05.040 organization.

00:34:05.640 Now,

00:34:07.000 before you

00:34:07.740 say,

00:34:08.480 but,

00:34:08.720 but,

00:34:08.980 but,

00:34:09.480 the

00:34:09.620 Republicans

00:34:10.100 do the

00:34:10.640 same

00:34:10.880 thing,

00:34:11.900 I would

00:34:12.780 say,

00:34:13.980 no,

00:34:14.600 Republican

00:34:15.120 voters do

00:34:16.140 the same

00:34:16.520 thing.

00:34:17.980 Do you

00:34:18.200 see the

00:34:18.520 difference?

00:34:19.400 One of the

00:34:19.940 examples,

00:34:20.500 somebody gave

00:34:20.940 me in a

00:34:21.260 counter-argument

00:34:21.840 was,

00:34:22.360 what about

00:34:22.800 Pizzagate?

00:34:24.240 To which I

00:34:24.800 said,

00:34:25.160 that didn't

00:34:25.620 come first.

00:34:26.160 And,

00:34:29.940 you know,

00:34:30.080 maybe you

00:34:30.500 get some

00:34:30.780 politics.

00:34:33.000 Organized

00:34:33.440 conspiracy

00:34:34.860 that comes

00:34:36.000 from,

00:34:36.960 usually is

00:34:37.800 there's

00:34:38.020 something

00:34:38.280 bubbling up

00:34:38.980 from the

00:34:39.360 bottom,

00:34:39.960 and maybe

00:34:40.720 there's some

00:34:41.100 politician who

00:34:41.680 grabs on it

00:34:42.380 and is willing

00:34:42.820 to say it in

00:34:43.340 public,

00:34:43.880 but it's

00:34:44.260 nothing like

00:34:44.740 any kind

00:34:45.060 of organized

00:34:45.860 RICO

00:34:46.860 criminal

00:34:47.460 operation.

00:34:49.200 It's just a

00:34:49.960 bunch of

00:34:50.280 things that

00:34:50.860 people claim,

00:34:51.620 some of them

00:34:52.060 were true,

00:34:52.480 and some of

00:34:52.780 them weren't.

00:34:53.960 That's just

00:34:54.500 sort of normal

00:34:55.040 business.

00:34:56.160 But if you

00:34:57.700 look at the

00:34:58.100 Democrat

00:34:58.420 operation,

00:34:59.220 they've got

00:34:59.540 the FBI,

00:35:00.900 Department of

00:35:01.320 Justice,

00:35:02.340 they corrupted

00:35:04.080 the platforms,

00:35:06.180 the news media,

00:35:07.080 this is all

00:35:07.520 known.

00:35:08.280 The CIA

00:35:08.840 operating to

00:35:10.400 do the,

00:35:11.100 or various

00:35:12.660 intelligence agency

00:35:13.700 people involved

00:35:15.540 in the laptop

00:35:16.580 cover-up.

00:35:17.640 So you can see

00:35:18.260 it's all the

00:35:18.760 same characters,

00:35:20.460 and they're

00:35:21.360 organized.

00:35:23.000 And so that

00:35:23.760 was the picture

00:35:24.560 I was painting

00:35:25.320 a few days

00:35:26.100 ago,

00:35:26.700 and most

00:35:27.480 of you

00:35:27.700 heard it,

00:35:28.080 right?

00:35:28.640 Now here's

00:35:29.000 the update.

00:35:30.420 Two stories.

00:35:31.320 New York Post

00:35:31.800 says the

00:35:32.780 White House

00:35:33.180 Counsel's

00:35:33.740 Office,

00:35:34.560 the White House

00:35:35.460 Counsel's

00:35:36.040 Office,

00:35:36.800 met with

00:35:37.400 top aide

00:35:38.040 to Special

00:35:38.560 Counsel Jack

00:35:39.360 Smith just

00:35:40.500 weeks before

00:35:41.280 he brought

00:35:41.720 charges against

00:35:42.580 President Trump

00:35:43.420 for allegedly

00:35:44.860 mishandling

00:35:45.440 classified documents,

00:35:47.360 raising serious

00:35:48.100 concerns about

00:35:48.980 coordinated legal

00:35:51.700 efforts aimed at

00:35:52.760 President Biden's

00:35:53.880 likely opponent.

00:35:55.920 So here's a

00:35:56.740 story in the

00:35:57.140 New York Post

00:35:57.680 suggesting a

00:35:59.680 RICO-like 1.00

00:36:00.760 coordination that

00:36:03.200 would be

00:36:03.580 inappropriate in

00:36:04.580 this context.

00:36:06.280 Here's another

00:36:07.360 story.

00:36:09.720 House Judiciary

00:36:10.980 Chairman Jim

00:36:11.900 Jordan.

00:36:13.220 So he's

00:36:13.800 investigating the

00:36:14.680 Fulton County

00:36:15.320 DA Fannie

00:36:16.300 Willis charges

00:36:17.880 that she

00:36:18.420 coordinated with

00:36:19.440 federal officials,

00:36:20.360 including Special

00:36:22.180 Counsel Jack

00:36:23.120 Smith.

00:36:24.760 This is a

00:36:25.380 separate case

00:36:26.280 which the

00:36:27.500 timing of the

00:36:28.440 announcement of

00:36:29.100 the indictments

00:36:29.760 seemed to be

00:36:31.000 very politically

00:36:31.940 advantageous for

00:36:33.000 Democrats and it

00:36:34.100 didn't look like a

00:36:34.880 coincidence.

00:36:36.300 So here would be

00:36:36.960 two examples that

00:36:38.600 are in the news

00:36:39.380 today.

00:36:41.580 The today part is

00:36:42.700 important to this.

00:36:44.440 That as soon as

00:36:45.420 you see the RICO

00:36:46.260 frame on it,

00:36:48.260 everything fits.

00:36:49.100 So what I

00:36:51.860 imagine is you're

00:36:52.760 going to see a

00:36:53.120 whole bunch of

00:36:53.620 stories about

00:36:54.460 people coordinating

00:36:55.620 in various elements

00:36:57.320 of the Democrat

00:36:58.040 machine so that

00:36:59.600 the RICO case

00:37:00.920 becomes clearer and

00:37:02.740 clearer over time.

00:37:04.040 For the people who

00:37:05.080 follow politics, I'd

00:37:06.060 say it's completely

00:37:06.780 clear.

00:37:08.040 Would you agree?

00:37:08.920 Most of you, I

00:37:09.740 would say, are in

00:37:10.200 the top 2% of

00:37:11.720 people who follow

00:37:12.420 the news in any

00:37:13.520 detail.

00:37:14.720 Would you agree

00:37:15.600 that for those of

00:37:16.880 you who are

00:37:17.140 following it in

00:37:17.740 detail, the

00:37:19.000 case for a RICO

00:37:20.520 criminal organization

00:37:21.820 is not just

00:37:23.220 possible, it's

00:37:24.080 just obvious.

00:37:25.260 It's the most

00:37:25.980 obvious thing I've

00:37:26.720 ever seen in my

00:37:27.260 life.

00:37:29.200 I don't even know

00:37:30.160 how you could

00:37:30.520 possibly talk me

00:37:31.340 out of it.

00:37:33.100 It's just really,

00:37:34.240 really obvious.

00:37:35.800 Now, I don't

00:37:38.060 know that there's

00:37:38.600 like a head, like

00:37:40.080 a mafia head, but

00:37:41.700 I also don't know

00:37:42.380 if that's necessary,

00:37:43.840 if they're all

00:37:44.720 operating with sort

00:37:45.940 of a common

00:37:46.440 understanding.

00:37:47.080 So it doesn't

00:37:48.620 seem like you

00:37:49.160 need a boss

00:37:50.080 per se.

00:37:51.700 But it's very

00:37:52.460 organized, it's

00:37:53.080 obvious.

00:37:55.640 And when you

00:37:56.420 see the new

00:37:57.080 Russia hoax that 0.91

00:37:58.140 Vivek is a

00:37:58.860 Russian asset,

00:38:00.640 it's just more

00:38:01.300 of that, more

00:38:02.440 of the same.

00:38:05.080 All right.

00:38:06.760 Here is a

00:38:07.900 quote from

00:38:09.020 Romney on

00:38:10.780 Ukraine.

00:38:11.280 Here's how he's

00:38:14.580 explaining his

00:38:15.280 support for

00:38:16.240 supporting Ukraine

00:38:17.400 in the war.

00:38:18.600 I'm going to read

00:38:19.380 this, and I want

00:38:20.140 to get your

00:38:20.880 impression, and

00:38:22.700 then also a

00:38:23.740 related story.

00:38:25.040 Ask you if AI

00:38:26.160 could pick up a

00:38:27.020 pattern here.

00:38:29.160 So just see if AI

00:38:30.340 would notice any

00:38:31.380 patterns in this,

00:38:32.240 all right?

00:38:32.740 So here's his own

00:38:34.160 quote.

00:38:35.200 So Romney says,

00:38:36.160 Do you think AI

00:39:00.280 would look at that

00:39:00.960 and say, well,

00:39:01.460 those are some

00:39:02.160 good reasons,

00:39:03.500 some solid reasons

00:39:04.480 right there.

00:39:04.880 I had to read

00:39:06.680 this so many

00:39:07.260 times because I

00:39:08.000 couldn't, honestly,

00:39:09.600 I didn't know if

00:39:10.100 it was real at

00:39:11.380 first.

00:39:12.140 I was like, is

00:39:12.640 that real?

00:39:14.000 Like, he actually

00:39:14.600 said those words?

00:39:16.700 Now, I'm saying

00:39:17.600 word solid.

00:39:18.880 That's one of the

00:39:19.720 things I was

00:39:20.220 looking for.

00:39:21.280 But I don't

00:39:22.140 think he has

00:39:22.780 cognitive dissonance.

00:39:24.320 I think he is,

00:39:26.400 it looks more like

00:39:27.520 he has a preferred

00:39:29.260 approach for reasons

00:39:31.240 I can't read his

00:39:32.020 mind.

00:39:33.200 But it doesn't

00:39:34.280 exactly look like

00:39:35.280 cognitive dissonance.

00:39:36.460 So it's close to

00:39:37.420 being word solid.

00:39:39.000 But there is a

00:39:39.860 meaning to it.

00:39:41.660 Let's spend some

00:39:43.960 time on this.

00:39:45.480 So do you think

00:39:46.120 it's necessary to

00:39:48.120 keep China from, 1.00

00:39:49.920 you know,

00:39:50.400 getting out of

00:39:50.920 control,

00:39:51.880 that the way we

00:39:52.680 would keep China 0.99

00:39:53.540 from getting out of

00:39:54.360 control is to fund

00:39:56.280 somebody else to

00:39:57.440 have a fight with

00:39:58.100 somebody else?

00:39:58.800 that tracks with

00:40:01.640 you?

00:40:02.360 The way to keep

00:40:03.360 China, you know,

00:40:04.840 honest and not

00:40:05.920 get too adventurous

00:40:06.960 is for America to

00:40:08.620 fund a separate

00:40:10.080 country to have a

00:40:11.860 war with another

00:40:12.540 country.

00:40:13.980 That was our,

00:40:15.520 that was the

00:40:16.020 strategy.

00:40:16.940 Now, I'm not

00:40:17.900 going to argue that

00:40:19.140 it has no effect.

00:40:20.820 It might have an

00:40:21.780 effect.

00:40:22.480 It's entirely

00:40:23.060 possible that China

00:40:24.360 is looking at the

00:40:25.120 weaponry involved and

00:40:26.980 saying some form of,

00:40:28.060 wow, they got good

00:40:29.080 stuff.

00:40:30.900 Yeah.

00:40:31.660 But let me ask you

00:40:32.720 this.

00:40:33.440 Is that the way you

00:40:34.540 would have approached

00:40:35.240 this?

00:40:36.740 Would Trump have done

00:40:37.740 this?

00:40:38.760 Would Trump have said,

00:40:39.640 you know what we

00:40:39.980 need to do?

00:40:41.160 If we could start a

00:40:42.560 war or encourage a

00:40:43.960 war with two separate

00:40:45.100 countries that could

00:40:46.720 showcase the

00:40:47.920 quality of our

00:40:48.720 weapons, that would

00:40:50.280 keep, that would

00:40:52.100 keep China at bay. 0.99

00:40:53.560 Because, you know,

00:40:54.380 it's not like it's the

00:40:55.600 first time.

00:40:56.540 Remember how well it

00:40:57.480 worked in Afghanistan?

00:40:58.060 Afghanistan, right?

00:40:59.940 When we were in

00:41:00.800 Afghanistan, China was 0.98

00:41:01.920 like, whoa, whoa,

00:41:04.140 they're winning so

00:41:04.920 hard in Afghanistan,

00:41:06.700 we'd better leave

00:41:08.080 Taiwan alone, right?

00:41:09.320 You remember when

00:41:09.900 that happened?

00:41:11.020 Oh, that didn't

00:41:11.900 happen.

00:41:12.600 Right.

00:41:13.000 Yeah, that didn't

00:41:13.540 happen.

00:41:14.200 And you remember when

00:41:14.960 we won in Vietnam,

00:41:17.820 and that caused

00:41:19.060 China to say, whoa,

00:41:21.100 okay, that didn't

00:41:21.960 happen either.

00:41:22.400 But does that sound

00:41:25.440 like that's a

00:41:26.080 strategy or a

00:41:27.720 rationalization?

00:41:30.120 Strategy?

00:41:31.400 That's the way you

00:41:32.380 would go about it.

00:41:33.360 You'd start the war in 0.97

00:41:35.860 two separate countries

00:41:37.060 to show China not to 0.61

00:41:40.340 take Taiwan. 0.87

00:41:41.640 That would be like a

00:41:42.580 real plan, that real

00:41:44.060 people would come up

00:41:44.860 with that plan.

00:41:45.880 No, this is a

00:41:47.260 rationalization for

00:41:48.820 something that happened.

00:41:49.740 I don't know why.

00:41:52.540 I mean, I don't know

00:41:53.140 what he's thinking or

00:41:53.980 what he wants or, you

00:41:55.420 know, I can't read his

00:41:56.100 mind.

00:41:56.820 But there's no way that

00:41:58.460 anybody ever sat in a

00:41:59.700 room and said, if we

00:42:00.760 start this war with

00:42:01.700 Ukraine or, you know,

00:42:02.960 back it, that that's

00:42:04.940 going to keep China 0.99

00:42:05.700 in trouble with us.

00:42:08.860 No way.

00:42:10.340 There's the slightest

00:42:11.200 chance that that was

00:42:12.580 intentional.

00:42:13.980 All right, how about

00:42:14.340 the other one?

00:42:17.180 That we would halt

00:42:18.760 Putin's vision of

00:42:20.160 reestablishing the old 0.80

00:42:21.520 Soviet Union.

00:42:23.880 Is he making us think

00:42:25.420 past the sale here?

00:42:28.000 How do we know what

00:42:29.360 Putin is thinking?

00:42:31.140 What about the Peter

00:42:32.480 Zayn explanation, which

00:42:36.300 is that 100% of what

00:42:38.380 Putin appears to be

00:42:39.500 going after, has gone

00:42:40.880 after and is going

00:42:41.840 after, are choke

00:42:43.260 points, which are quite

00:42:44.960 obviously defensive,

00:42:46.560 defensive necessities

00:42:49.140 for Russia to control 0.86

00:42:51.180 its territorial

00:42:52.620 integrity?

00:42:54.980 Now, I don't know.

00:42:56.280 Is Peter Zayn right?

00:42:58.080 I don't know.

00:42:59.080 But, you know, he's not

00:43:00.760 a politician.

00:43:02.320 You know, I don't know

00:43:03.520 what influences he has.

00:43:05.180 But those are completely

00:43:07.260 different stories, aren't

00:43:08.360 they?

00:43:08.520 If what Russia wants 0.87

00:43:10.240 is to be protected

00:43:11.640 for, you know, a

00:43:12.960 thousand years in the

00:43:13.720 future, that gives you

00:43:16.480 something to negotiate.

00:43:18.120 How hard would it be

00:43:19.480 for us to work out

00:43:20.800 something that gives

00:43:21.740 them territorial, you

00:43:23.760 know, integrity

00:43:24.480 without, you know,

00:43:28.760 without war?

00:43:30.020 It just feels like that's

00:43:31.260 a pretty solvable problem.

00:43:32.580 But, if you're imagining

00:43:35.180 that Putin has this

00:43:36.220 vision, which, you

00:43:38.380 know, he does talk

00:43:39.040 about it, so it's not

00:43:40.180 completely a ridiculous

00:43:41.300 thing.

00:43:41.980 He does talk about,

00:43:43.120 you know, the greatness

00:43:44.720 of Russia and that

00:43:46.340 some things belong to

00:43:47.400 him, et cetera.

00:43:48.300 So there's a little bit

00:43:49.260 of that.

00:43:50.160 I'm not sure that it's

00:43:51.040 either Peter Zayn's

00:43:52.940 thing completely or that

00:43:55.120 it's Romney's thing

00:43:56.020 completely.

00:43:56.980 It feels like it's

00:43:57.940 probably a hybrid of

00:44:00.460 wanting to have these

00:44:01.780 choke points for their

00:44:02.800 own defense.

00:44:03.900 Plus, wouldn't it be

00:44:04.820 great, you know, if we

00:44:06.500 had some of our prior

00:44:07.560 glory?

00:44:09.080 But it's possible that

00:44:10.680 one of those is way

00:44:11.460 more important.

00:44:13.720 So here's another way

00:44:15.100 you could have gone

00:44:15.640 about it.

00:44:16.880 So the way they went

00:44:17.600 about it is to start a

00:44:18.680 war with Ukraine and

00:44:20.140 Russia to warn, to 0.94

00:44:22.920 deter everybody and

00:44:24.640 China too.

00:44:27.420 Here's another way you

00:44:28.420 could have done it.

00:44:30.220 If Trump had been

00:44:31.340 president, two phone

00:44:33.340 calls.

00:44:35.120 That's the other way

00:44:35.880 to do it.

00:44:36.680 Two phone calls.

00:44:38.040 One to Russia, one to 0.97

00:44:39.060 China.

00:44:41.040 Hey, Russia, if you do 0.98

00:44:43.040 this, I can't even tell

00:44:44.960 you how bad this is going

00:44:45.900 to be for you.

00:44:46.740 This will be so bad,

00:44:47.900 there will be things you

00:44:48.900 didn't even imagine were

00:44:49.860 doable.

00:44:50.780 We've got assets and

00:44:51.980 resources that you have

00:44:52.820 no idea.

00:44:53.980 We would bring so much

00:44:55.220 pain on you that you

00:44:57.740 would regret this for the

00:44:58.940 rest of your life,

00:44:59.700 however long that is.

00:45:01.980 You don't think that

00:45:03.180 Trump could have scared

00:45:04.600 the bejesus out of 0.89

00:45:05.620 Putin, at least to make

00:45:06.940 him wait until Trump is

00:45:07.960 gone.

00:45:09.220 At least to buy you

00:45:10.200 four more years or

00:45:11.060 something.

00:45:12.220 You don't think he could

00:45:13.340 call China and say,

00:45:14.900 look, here's the deal.

00:45:16.640 We've got our microchips

00:45:17.860 on that island.

00:45:19.640 You're not taking the

00:45:20.640 island.

00:45:21.980 That's the end of our

00:45:22.900 conversation.

00:45:24.300 Our microchips are there.

00:45:25.420 It's a vital interest.

00:45:26.520 You attack them, you're

00:45:27.420 attacking us, that you're 0.95

00:45:30.180 not taking it.

00:45:31.300 That's a hard no.

00:45:33.000 And I'll say different

00:45:33.880 things in public for you.

00:45:35.280 If you want me in public

00:45:36.480 to say, you know, it's

00:45:37.480 China's domestic problem,

00:45:39.600 I'll do that.

00:45:40.420 But if you put one troop

00:45:41.800 on Taiwan, your whole

00:45:43.760 fucking situation is going

00:45:45.020 to collapse.

00:45:47.260 You don't think he can

00:45:48.260 sell that?

00:45:49.680 The greatest salesperson,

00:45:51.580 you know, he's been

00:45:52.640 called, Trump's been

00:45:54.060 called the greatest

00:45:54.680 salesperson ever by

00:45:55.800 somebody of no sales.

00:45:57.780 You don't think he

00:45:58.420 can sell that?

00:45:59.680 Two phone calls.

00:46:01.240 Two phone calls.

00:46:03.020 Yeah.

00:46:03.620 Instead, we made, we

00:46:04.840 created a war with two

00:46:06.280 third parties to handle

00:46:09.040 Taiwan.

00:46:11.700 Come on.

00:46:15.920 When you say, oh, come

00:46:17.040 on, I can't tell if

00:46:17.920 you're talking to me or

00:46:18.880 you're agreeing with me.

00:46:20.180 Xi'an is, says it's 0.75

00:46:26.820 collapsing.

00:46:27.420 Oh, I saw another

00:46:28.240 rumor slash hypothesis

00:46:31.060 about China collapsing.

00:46:33.400 So you've heard

00:46:33.960 everything about the, you

00:46:35.500 know, their population

00:46:36.400 and, you know, the

00:46:38.580 economy has got problems

00:46:40.760 in 50 different ways.

00:46:42.720 But there's one that I

00:46:43.940 hadn't heard before.

00:46:45.340 So they have this

00:46:46.320 enormous dam.

00:46:47.400 What is it?

00:46:48.640 The Three Rivers

00:46:50.300 Dam or something?

00:46:52.140 And it's this massive

00:46:54.020 dam.

00:46:56.240 And Three Gorges.

00:46:57.380 The Three Gorges

00:46:58.240 Dam.

00:46:58.640 Thank you.

00:46:59.560 The Three Gorges

00:47:00.560 Dam.

00:47:01.260 Now, I don't know that

00:47:02.140 this is true.

00:47:02.880 This is just a thing I

00:47:04.060 saw, you know, some

00:47:05.380 YouTube video.

00:47:06.640 That it's having

00:47:09.200 structural problems.

00:47:11.120 And that they knew it

00:47:12.120 would, or at least some

00:47:12.960 people knew it would,

00:47:13.760 when it was built, that

00:47:15.180 it was never built as

00:47:16.760 well as it should have

00:47:17.500 been for the volume of

00:47:18.460 water.

00:47:19.360 And that if that dam

00:47:20.920 ever broke, it would

00:47:22.380 actually take down China.

00:47:24.620 Do you believe that?

00:47:25.980 I mean, that seems,

00:47:26.940 seems like hyperbole to

00:47:29.060 me.

00:47:29.600 But apparently the

00:47:30.680 amount of flooding

00:47:31.680 would be so, it would

00:47:34.020 be cataclysmic.

00:47:36.220 You know, it would be

00:47:36.720 like Noah's Ark

00:47:37.700 situation.

00:47:38.880 And that there's no way

00:47:40.400 that the country could

00:47:41.920 take that size of a hit

00:47:43.260 and the government still

00:47:44.900 function and do what

00:47:46.180 they need to do.

00:47:47.360 Because there are big

00:47:48.200 cities downriver.

00:47:49.920 Now, I'm not so sure

00:47:51.460 about that.

00:47:52.520 I think China could take

00:47:53.640 a hit that size and

00:47:54.980 it's a very capable

00:47:56.660 country.

00:47:57.620 I mean, it would be a

00:47:58.500 tragedy of almost

00:48:00.040 unimaginable scale.

00:48:03.040 But, and certainly

00:48:04.400 don't want that to

00:48:05.100 happen.

00:48:05.760 But it's out there.

00:48:07.380 You know, there's,

00:48:08.300 you know, I just don't

00:48:09.320 think that we predict,

00:48:10.900 we're not good at

00:48:11.620 predicting the end of

00:48:12.540 everything.

00:48:13.240 We tend to be

00:48:14.240 adaptable.

00:48:18.960 Please do this on X.

00:48:21.620 I probably will,

00:48:23.340 but I don't know if

00:48:24.220 I'll do it live.

00:48:25.700 Actually, I just started

00:48:27.120 looking into it yesterday

00:48:27.980 so I still have some

00:48:28.840 questions.

00:48:29.700 If I were to be on X,

00:48:32.620 can I live stream yet?

00:48:34.120 Or do I have to do it,

00:48:36.460 do I have to just post a

00:48:38.080 video on there after

00:48:39.120 I'm done?

00:48:39.500 Does anybody know the

00:48:42.760 answer to that?

00:48:44.460 So some are saying yes

00:48:45.860 because I was looking,

00:48:47.540 where do I live stream?

00:48:50.080 I saw no user interface

00:48:52.340 for that.

00:48:54.160 Can you tell me where to

00:48:55.520 find it?

00:48:56.400 On the app?

00:48:58.660 No, spaces doesn't count

00:48:59.980 if I were to do a live

00:49:01.540 stream with video.

00:49:03.900 Tucker did.

00:49:04.700 So, but I know I've

00:49:08.500 seen Elon testing the

00:49:10.360 live feature, but where

00:49:11.980 is it?

00:49:14.680 So I can't, so I, so you

00:49:16.460 say I have that user

00:49:17.400 interface option right

00:49:18.520 now?

00:49:19.360 Because I don't see

00:49:20.200 anything named Periscope.

00:49:21.580 Yeah, so I did Google it.

00:49:27.600 I did Google it.

00:49:28.200 I didn't find it.

00:49:29.220 So if anybody knows if

00:49:30.740 that's live for everybody

00:49:31.880 and where to find it, or

00:49:33.540 is it a separate app?

00:49:34.440 Is it a separate app?

00:49:36.320 You pick the post and the

00:49:37.760 picture.

00:49:39.580 Yeah, spaces is audio

00:49:40.700 only.

00:49:41.460 All right, well, I'll look

00:49:42.180 into it.

00:49:42.640 So I'm looking into that

00:49:43.540 today, so I like the idea.

00:49:46.040 Dr. Funkju says yes, and

00:49:52.460 I believe you would

00:49:53.200 know.

00:49:54.400 Thank you.

00:49:57.060 Yeah, if it's not live,

00:49:58.420 then there's a little

00:49:58.880 point in doing it.

00:50:00.020 Well, I don't know.

00:50:01.580 People do watch recorded

00:50:02.660 things on, more people

00:50:04.500 watch this recorded than

00:50:05.680 live.

00:50:06.160 Did you know that?

00:50:07.460 Yeah.

00:50:07.720 My live stream is maybe

00:50:10.200 20% of the total traffic.

00:50:14.780 Most of it's recorded.

00:50:16.040 Oh, thank you.

00:50:20.040 DJ Dr. Funkju says you'll

00:50:22.080 send me info on X, and

00:50:24.480 that's exactly what he

00:50:25.340 is.

00:50:25.440 Thank you.

00:50:26.460 Appreciate that.

00:50:28.280 All right.

00:50:30.040 People say they like me

00:50:31.400 on Roseanne.

00:50:33.000 Let me give you an update

00:50:34.340 on my book.

00:50:35.480 There are still, I think,

00:50:36.660 four fake versions of my

00:50:38.220 book up there.

00:50:39.560 But once people start

00:50:42.220 using it to train AI, I

00:50:44.780 think it's going to do

00:50:46.860 well.

00:50:49.480 I have a claim to make

00:50:51.320 that while there might be

00:50:53.660 some books that at the

00:50:54.600 moment are slightly higher

00:50:56.120 rated in the category of

00:50:59.120 transforming your life,

00:51:00.740 which I like better than

00:51:01.800 self-help.

00:51:03.040 Self-help always bugged me

00:51:04.400 because if you're reading a

00:51:06.140 book on self-help, it's the

00:51:08.140 author that's helping you.

00:51:09.940 You're not really self-helping.

00:51:12.260 You're literally getting

00:51:13.320 somebody else's help and

00:51:14.520 then taking their advice.

00:51:15.840 It doesn't seem like self-help.

00:51:17.620 But anyway, so I like

00:51:18.540 personal transformation because

00:51:20.440 it's definitely a personal

00:51:21.320 transformation.

00:51:22.240 You're just using some

00:51:23.360 resources to get it done.

00:51:25.140 But in that domain, I have

00:51:26.560 the following claim.

00:51:27.400 There is no book in the top

00:51:30.060 20 that would improve your

00:51:32.580 life faster or more, let's

00:51:38.420 say, more likely than mine

00:51:41.140 because it's written for that.

00:51:44.100 It's written to have exactly

00:51:45.480 that impact.

00:51:46.380 And if you look at the

00:51:47.040 reviews, it's obvious that it's

00:51:48.560 working, that people are

00:51:50.620 already, you know, they're 10

00:51:53.580 pages into the book and saying

00:51:55.400 I found something that's like

00:51:56.760 I'm going to totally change

00:51:58.180 my life with.

00:51:59.460 So my argument is that a book

00:52:02.340 written by a hypnotist to take

00:52:05.280 good ideas and make them

00:52:07.180 actionable is different than a

00:52:09.920 book about good ideas.

00:52:12.020 Because a normal author writing

00:52:14.520 a book with a bunch of good

00:52:16.140 ideas, it doesn't matter how

00:52:17.920 good they are.

00:52:19.200 Because if you're not

00:52:19.980 implementing them, you know,

00:52:21.560 they just lay there.

00:52:22.860 But mine are written so that you

00:52:24.560 can't help yourself.

00:52:26.740 If you see a reframe that

00:52:28.340 works, they're so short and

00:52:30.420 easy to remember that it will

00:52:32.120 just stick in your head and

00:52:33.820 then you're done.

00:52:35.340 Right?

00:52:35.820 A reframe works just because

00:52:37.480 you thought of it and then you

00:52:39.160 repeated it in your head because

00:52:40.300 it was sticky.

00:52:41.940 So I've solved the part that most

00:52:44.380 self-help books don't do, which

00:52:46.960 is to get you to actually do

00:52:48.180 something.

00:52:49.640 And the doing is because once

00:52:52.160 the words are in your head, the

00:52:54.280 words change the structure of

00:52:56.000 your brain, literally, and they

00:52:58.600 make it more productive.

00:53:00.320 And then the thing that you

00:53:01.300 wanted to be more true for you

00:53:03.460 becomes more true.

00:53:05.540 And there's no specific effort to

00:53:08.000 do it.

00:53:08.800 It's just that you added some new

00:53:10.260 code.

00:53:10.620 It's like a software patch.

00:53:12.900 So that's the easiest effort for

00:53:15.900 the greatest personal

00:53:17.400 transformation.

00:53:18.020 And in my opinion, there's

00:53:20.560 nothing close.

00:53:22.100 It's called reframe your brain.

00:53:24.240 I've never said anything like

00:53:25.500 that with anything I've written

00:53:26.460 before.

00:53:27.800 This is actually special.

00:53:29.880 And people are seeing it right 0.63

00:53:31.180 away.

00:53:31.940 All right.

00:53:32.440 So that's all for this amazing

00:53:35.480 live stream.

00:53:36.040 Is there any topic that I should

00:53:37.280 have mentioned that I didn't?

00:53:40.640 I feel like I must have left

00:53:42.460 something out.

00:53:43.020 The Perfect Airplane Book.

00:53:48.180 It is.

00:53:48.940 It's the Perfect Airplane Book.

00:53:52.160 I do write it with that in mind,

00:53:53.820 actually.

00:53:54.820 Maui, we don't have any updates.

00:53:57.500 Nor will we.

00:54:01.060 All right.

00:54:02.300 Perfect for young people.

00:54:05.660 Did we reach our hour?

00:54:08.420 I got six more minutes to spend

00:54:10.120 with me if you want to ask me a

00:54:11.160 question.

00:54:11.420 Because I try to get the live

00:54:13.320 streams to an hour.

00:54:14.300 There's some magic to that on

00:54:15.820 YouTube.

00:54:19.440 I did mention Rob Reiner, so that

00:54:21.340 largely, you know, pretty much

00:54:23.560 handles most of the important

00:54:24.820 news.

00:54:30.520 What about, we talked about

00:54:32.280 Vivek on Bill Maher's show.

00:54:34.920 How will Trump fix Ukraine?

00:54:36.940 Through threats, I believe.

00:54:39.020 Through threats.

00:54:39.820 And also, being realistic about

00:54:44.600 American interests.

00:54:47.900 Do you have a Rogan appearance

00:54:49.500 yet?

00:54:50.160 No.

00:54:50.740 You know, I'm not really, I don't

00:54:52.800 think I'm exactly a Joe Rogan

00:54:55.140 guest material.

00:54:57.260 You know, I've done it once, and

00:54:58.700 that's probably all I needed.

00:55:01.560 You know, just because I have a

00:55:02.800 book, that doesn't mean I get to be

00:55:04.400 a guest.

00:55:04.780 Um, you're seeing dreams with

00:55:09.560 Vivek in them.

00:55:11.960 Really?

00:55:14.400 All right.

00:55:15.520 So I was also thinking of using the

00:55:17.580 200 or so micro lessons that I have

00:55:22.060 on the Locals platform.

00:55:23.320 So if you didn't know, I make these

00:55:24.700 little two to four minute videos to

00:55:26.860 teach you a life skill.

00:55:27.960 Uh, each one teaches you like a

00:55:30.480 really useful thing.

00:55:31.180 There are over 200 of them that are

00:55:32.800 available just for subscribers.

00:55:34.700 Now, suppose I took 200 of those

00:55:37.140 micro lessons and made them available

00:55:39.040 to train an AI in addition to my

00:55:42.120 books.

00:55:43.900 Wouldn't you want your AI to have read

00:55:46.620 how to fail at almost everything that

00:55:48.080 still wins big and reframe your brain

00:55:50.700 because they're generally considered

00:55:53.580 the two most useful, you know,

00:55:56.800 advising success kinds of, uh, how to

00:55:59.640 be happy books.

00:56:00.980 So you take all that, add 200 micro

00:56:03.660 lessons, which fill out with some of

00:56:05.680 those points and add a lot more.

00:56:07.560 And you would have quite an AI

00:56:09.300 personality and you would have

00:56:11.200 something that could advise a young

00:56:12.880 person, um, with a set of, let's

00:56:17.540 say, a set of tools that largely came

00:56:20.920 from me.

00:56:22.620 And I think that that would be, let's

00:56:25.460 see, AI I'd want my kid to see.

00:56:27.400 You know, of course, I'm too close to

00:56:30.100 it, so, but if there's anybody thinks

00:56:32.620 that, you know, anybody would benefit

00:56:35.000 from that set of messages, there's

00:56:39.400 now a way to do it.

00:56:40.200 Just stick it in an AI and then

00:56:41.420 anybody can have it.

00:56:42.180 Will the U.S. defend Taiwan?

00:56:50.440 Um, here's the only right answer.

00:56:55.820 You ready?

00:56:56.100 There's one right answer.

00:56:58.780 Do you know what it is?

00:57:02.840 Probably.

00:57:06.560 Probably.

00:57:07.780 Right.

00:57:08.240 Because the, Trump will tell you, you

00:57:10.600 can't be predictable.

00:57:13.280 Can't be predictable.

00:57:14.900 So we should probably say yes, because

00:57:18.060 that, that's the scariest.

00:57:19.460 But you don't have to do what you say.

00:57:21.360 You just have to make yourself look

00:57:22.940 scary and unpredictable.

00:57:25.360 Um, I saw a suggestion that I should

00:57:27.120 go on the podcast, uh, Trigger-nometry.

00:57:30.800 That's already scheduled.

00:57:32.780 So I will be on Trigger-nometry.

00:57:34.800 Trigger-nometry.

00:57:37.800 One of the best podcasts, by the way.

00:57:39.740 I was very happy about that.

00:57:42.580 And I'm finishing negotiation with, uh,

00:57:45.640 Mike Mandel, who is a, uh, a hypnotist.

00:57:50.860 And, uh, I've never been, well, I have

00:57:53.820 been interviewed by hypnotists.

00:57:55.460 That's, that's not true.

00:57:56.400 But he's, he's doing, he does it for a

00:57:57.960 living.

00:57:58.260 It's like his main thing.

00:58:00.180 So, uh, that would be fun.

00:58:04.800 Uh, oh, Roger Stone should be today.

00:58:08.880 The Roger Stone radio interview, I

00:58:11.860 don't know what time today, but his

00:58:13.400 show, his show airs today, Sunday.

00:58:19.140 A man cave person.

00:58:20.520 Uh, somebody says it's WABC, uh, which is

00:58:29.740 7.70 a.m. at 2 to 4 p.m.

00:58:33.120 Now, that would be WABC everywhere, or just

00:58:36.720 in one place.

00:58:38.220 So 2 to 4 p.m., that's probably Eastern

00:58:40.920 time, I guess.

00:58:42.240 I don't know.

00:58:43.020 Probably Eastern.

00:58:43.680 All right.

00:58:48.240 What, uh, what podcast do you think I

00:58:50.820 should most go on?

00:58:52.800 Oh, I would go on, uh, uh, Jenks' show.

00:58:57.600 Actually, that would be really interesting,

00:58:59.380 wouldn't it?

00:59:00.960 Yeah.

00:59:02.500 Bongino.

00:59:03.580 I'm, I've got a request in for James

00:59:06.300 Altusher.

00:59:07.620 He would be amazing.

00:59:09.600 Tim Pool.

00:59:11.300 Choco. 0.92

00:59:12.180 Megan.

00:59:12.460 Oh, yeah.

00:59:14.980 Yeah, I should see if Megan Kelly wants

00:59:17.080 to talk.

00:59:18.640 She'd be good.

00:59:19.800 Jordan Peterson, Russell Brand.

00:59:22.180 I've got a, I've got a request in for

00:59:25.200 Russell Brand.

00:59:27.980 All right.

00:59:28.660 I should follow up.

00:59:29.980 Oh, Brett.

00:59:31.640 Yeah.

00:59:32.940 Maybe this is the time for me to talk to

00:59:34.740 Brett.

00:59:35.120 What do you think?

00:59:37.540 Brett Weinstein?

00:59:39.380 Yeah.

00:59:40.460 I, you know, I didn't want to go talk to

00:59:42.300 him just about pandemic stuff because I'm

00:59:45.720 just so over it.

00:59:48.120 But if I have a new book, then I got

00:59:50.120 something to talk about.

00:59:51.060 Well, that'd be interesting if you wanted

00:59:52.500 to.

00:59:53.540 All right.

00:59:53.800 It's never up to me, of course.

00:59:56.020 Never up to me.

00:59:57.680 All right.

00:59:58.040 Um, yeah, Fox News.

01:00:03.060 I don't think I can be on Fox News now because

01:00:06.340 they're taking TikTok advertising.

01:00:09.860 So I'm going to take Fox News off of my publicity

01:00:15.360 schedule.

01:00:16.740 Not, not that I was ever booked, but if I had been, I

01:00:20.240 wouldn't, I would have had to back out.

01:00:22.720 But, um, Jack Posobiec, going to be talking to him, I

01:00:29.160 think, tomorrow.

01:00:33.420 Yeah.

01:00:34.900 Are you amazed that Fox News is taking TikTok advertising?

01:00:38.720 I don't know.

01:00:46.860 It's, it's, I don't even know what to say about it.

01:00:51.760 But, you know, the only thing I can do is just not

01:00:55.460 associate with it.

01:00:56.440 That's the only thing I can do.

01:00:58.520 So, all right.

01:00:59.320 Um, I think we hit our bogey.

01:01:03.380 We got our time.

01:01:04.620 Thanks for all the feedback.

01:01:05.940 It was actually really useful.

01:01:06.980 I appreciate it.

01:01:08.120 And I will talk to you tomorrow, YouTube.

01:01:11.600 Thanks for joining.

01:01:12.900 You're amazing.
